Is this really the reason for banning Magic Bounce? I can't mindlessly stack hazards? There are so many ways to play around MB an get up hazards if that is your main strategy. Mold Breaker, Neutralizing Gas, Toxic Debris, Stone Axe all bypass Magic Bounce. And I hate this cliche, but you can...

Why is Liquid Ooze of all abilities banned?

I want to get in on the Samurott-H hate wagon for a second. This Pokemon should have been banned or at least looked at from the jump. 1.5x damage on all moves, 2 strong priority moves, reliable pivot move all while getting up spikes with ZERO drawback in a metagame where the whole point is to...

Is there a reason U-Turn is allows a forte Flip Turn and Volt Switch are banned?

Pretty much, yes.

I was thinking the assist moves get added to the in battle Pokemon's moveset. When either of the assists are selected, they are unable to be selected again until the Pokemon on field switches out. So essentially you have 6 moves to choose from when you send a Pokemon out. Not sure if that is...

Assist Me! Premise: The Pokemon in battle may call an “assist” from a teammate once when on the field. This is a 6v6 single format metagame. The first move in each Pokemon’s moveset will also become their “assist". A Pokemon may only call an assist from either the Pokemon ahead of or behind it...

Since the ladder seems a little dead I figured I'd post a Mono Psychic team I came up with the is pretty fun. Mono Psy Spam Deoxys-Speed @ Focus Sash Ability: Pressure EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Stealth Rock - Spikes - Taunt - Memento* Classic...

Can we talk about how crazy Iron Valiant is. This Pokemon has infinite sets. Choice Band Magical Torque, Choice Specs Fleur Cannon, Choice Scarf, Swords Dance, Dragon Dance, Calm Mind Esper Wing, Bulk Up Drain Punch, Nasty Plot Vacuum Wave for cheeky steels with Bullet Punch. Plus moves like...

I mean at that point what else is there to do but hax the Clefable down or status it. Run Shield Dust next time I guess.

I'm just gonna say this right now...We cannot let Poison Heal, Fluffy, Ice Scales, Stamina Blank of Ruin Gliscor be a thing. That is all.

I built a gimmicky Harvest team around our forgotten friend Annihilape. These are the core 4 : Annihilape @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Defiant Tera Type: Water/Steel EVs: 240 HP / 252 SpD / 16 Spe Careful Nature - Bulk Up - Drain Punch - Rage Fist -Encore/Protect The King. The Wincon. The...

Is Zamazenta-C bugged. I understand it is supposed to pass the base forms stats but it seems like HP, Attack and Speed are not passed and the Def and Spdef stats passed are way beyond base 115.

The summary makes it sound like you get your donors ability ON TOP of your own. If it's only one ability then they should change the wording.

Frantic Fusion, Re-Evolution, Cross Evolution, Revelationmons

First off I want to start off by saying that the concept this OM is actually pretty cool. Also I'm glad to see the fast restrictions to set up moves like Shell Smash and Quiver Dance. However, I believe at some point a look at stat boosting moves in general or at least all that boost speed...

Yeah some of these mons can be checked by these E-speed mons but a Pokemon like Chi Yu for example has probably easily killed something beforehand because it has almost no switch ins. Like that post said it didn't even get anything useful and it is still probably the deadliest mon in the tier...

Oh really? I keep running into it.

Is there going to be any bans or suspects coming to this metagame soon? The fact that Chi- Yu and Chien- Pao are still allowed is disturbing.

Corviknight, Slowking-galar, Clefable, Umbreon, Mandibuzz, Ferrothorn. Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid Strike more often than not will fail to KO Ferrothorn even after Stealth Rock and if it's under 50% it will potentially lose a 1v1 it usually always wins.
